Introduction The Scienlab Charging Discovery System (CDS) from Keysight is a modular solution for conformance and interoperability testing of EV/EVSE charging interfaces. Thanks to its modular design, the CDS can be configured to customers' specific needs for testing and validating the charging interface of electric vehicles and charging infrastructures.

Figure 1 shows the standard portable 19” CDS. For further CDS variants (e.g. EMC shielding or liquid cooled cable options) refer to other datasheets.

Figure 1: Portable 19” CDS

Three main use cases for the Charging Discovery System:

Use case 1: EV test

The CDS is used as a universal, configurable charging infrastructure (e.g. DC charging column or AC wallbox). It can be used for functional testing of the charging interface of any Electric Vehicle, as well as for safety, interoperability, conformance, and durability tests.

Use case 2: EVSE test

Here, the CDS is a universal, configurable charging interface emulation of a Electric Vehicle. Again, this allows functional, safety, interoperability, conformance and durability testing of any EVSE product.

Use case 3: Man-in-the-middle test

In this third use case, the CDS is connected between two real devices to capture all electrical signals and digital communication between an EVSE and EV. The user can identify and trace potential interoperability issues.

Consider the targeted use case and test scope when ordering CDS hardware. For some applications, such as conformance testing of the charging communication protocols, the CDS alone may suffice. This is suitable when testing individual components of a charging system (e.g. SECC or EVCC) rather than the entire product. Full conformance tests require a power source (or load) in addition to the CDS.

The following table shows three examples of CDS configurations:

Example #1: Stand-Alone CDS

In some cases, a stand-alone CDS configuration is adequate. It allows AC man-in-the-middle analysis, as well as AC charging tests of an EV when used together with the CEE plug-in adapter (see SL1040A-107). Adding high level communication modules (see SL1040A-301…303) allows DC man-in-the-middle analysis and also V2G/CAN communication protocol testing.

Example #2: CDS + Low Power DC Supply

Adding a DC power source or load, even with low power, enables most DC conformance and interoperability testing. Keysight RP79xx(*) Regenerative Power System provides a scalable solution (5 to 150 kW) which is seamlessly integrated with CDS. It can be used as source or load, thus allowing EV and EVSE testing with one setup.

Example #3: CDS + High Power DC Supply

For high power DC charging, the CDS can be attached to larger DC emulators of 180 kW, 360 kW or more. EV and EVSE testing at full power range becomes possible. Note, for HPC EV testing a different CDS variant with liquid cooled cables may be required.

* For subsequent orders of Keysight RP79xx, note that any RPS module must be commissioned by a CDS service engineer before first use. Contact your local Keysight field engineer for all service options.

Licenses SL1040A-S01 Expert Mode The Expert Mode option includes two independent features: Remote Interface and Test Editor System Key.

Remote Interface The Expert Mode enables users to connect the Charging Discovery System with a third-party test automation through Ethernet (TCP/UDP). This interface allows users to parametrize EV/EVSE emulation or test case mode and execute tests remotely. The Keysight Windows application software, Charging Discover, captures traces in this mode when automatically connected, but the software tool is not required during test execution anymore (Note: it is still required for test case and test project definition).

Remote access supports the following functions:

• Configure use-case, charging standard, and operation mode (AC or DC) or select and run test projects/cases.

• Start, stop and reset the system • Read charging state (PWM and high-level communication) • Read all electrical measurements of CDS (signal and power)

Note: For complete access to all functions of remote interface see the chapter “SL1040A-S02 Developer Mode“. Later upgrade to Expert Mode, and from Expert to Developer Mode is possible at any time.

Test Editor System Key

The Test Editor allows users to conveniently define their own test cases directly within the Charging Discover graphical user interface. With the Test Editor System Key, test cases can easily transfer to and executed by the CDS.

Test case programming is performed using functions based on common high-level language elements. Loops, test cases, and subroutines can be combined. Available system functions and parameters are automatically suggested and explained through tooltips while typing (intelligent code completion).

• Simple and intuitive programming language (proprietary, but C-like) and clear tabular representation • Use of chronological value tables or real charging profiles • Dynamic source/sink parametrization: modification of setpoint parameters while the source/sink is

active • Independent creation of test sequences using variables for different device under test profiles • Use of "print commands" for documenting dynamic results in the Charging Discover trace

Note: If the CDS is ordered without a power source or an EVSE load, only test cases on signal level can be executed.

1: Specification of Scienlab Ethernet Protocol (SLEP, intermediate protocol layer between UDP/TCP and application) 2: Software Interface Specification CDS (application layer describing all signals and functions accessible through remote interface)

Note: Test Editor documentation is part of the Charging Discover operating manual. Note: Price is valid until 1 year after test acceptance.


SL1040A-S02 Developer Mode The “Developer Mode” contains all expert mode features but adds additional functionality to the remote interface. (Note: it is never required to get both options – Expert and Developer Mode. Either is required for remote operation) Extended remote access adds the following functions: • Manual control of CP and PP output in EVSE emulation

(e.g. PWM amplitude, frequency or duty cycle) • Manual control of CP in EV emulation (e.g. setting R2/R3 resistance and cable capacitance) • Remote variation of all charging communication parameters (before and during charging) • Remote injection of fault states in Control- and ProximityPilot (e.g. short circuit) • Manual control of attached power sources/loads: voltage/current setpoints, power-switch off limits. • Access all charging state related high level parameters of EV and EVSE (V2G or CAN) as decoded

values (e.g. TargetCurrent, PresentVoltage, SOC) • Direct access to EV and EVSE PLC modem of CDS (GreenPHY QCA7000).

Figure 12: Interface topology of CDS with developer mode

Because of the direct access to all internal CDS components, users can integrate the CDS in their own test bench, automation software, or hardware-in-the-loop systems and therefore combine the CDS with other third-party power sources/loads. Note: When doing so, the CDS is neither controlling the charging sequence, nor the third-party power sources and loads. Since this control is managed by the customer’s software and operator, Keysight is not responsible for technical integration issues. Technical support can be received through productivity support service.

Service Options Service demand depends on the chosen hardware configuration, the installation location and its facilities, and the scope of testing. For that reason, it is difficult to estimate the exact amount of service required prior to identifying all relevant customer requirements. Keysight offers a wide spectrum of services to guarantee a successful project and reduce the ramp-up time for our customers.

HS0003A-100 Project Management and Technical Consulting Service

Project Management and Technical Consulting Service is mandatory for every project including a construction, integration or customization part. Keysight recommends this additional service in every Charging Discovery System project, in particular with the first order. By ordering the Project Management Service, an experienced project manager or system specialist is dedicated to your project and acts as direct communication interface from Keysight to the customer’s project team.

The project manager has the following responsibilities:

• Consult the customer with in-depth technical knowledge about the test solution, its application and relevant test standards.

• Learn about the customer’s objectives and give guidance how to use the ordered solution best in order to gain maximum benefits.

• Evaluation of post-order requirements and change management • Coordinating and tracking project progress from day one until system handover • To provide complete and accurate project documentation to the customer.

R9001A-201 Installation Service

The scope of Keysight’s Installation Service depends on the customer’s facility. Keysight can provide full installation options for all products. To get a quote, share all relevant information and requirements with regards to test bench components that require media installation such as grid interface and cooling water supply with your local field engineer.

Note: Installation can also be executed by the customer.

R9002A-202 Commissioning Test

The Commissioning Test Service guides customers during first usage of the test bench after installation. Commissioning Test Service is recommended for each test bench project and includes:

• Support in commissioning the test system and instructions on how to use it. • Local presence of experienced test bench engineer during first usage of the test bench. • Consulting of customer personnel with regards to intended usage of the test bench (e.g. initial test

with customer specimen, evaluation of test results) • Inspection of hardware/laboratory installation • Initial installation and configuration to the control software Charging Discover as well as hand-on

instructions how to use it. • Travel expanses

Note: Commissioning Test Service is offered on a daily basis. Keysight recommends at least two days of Commissioning Test Service for each test system.
